The 17 min of gameplay on pcgamer looked fantastic...but nothing we havent seen or played through before, just a prettier presentation still crappy writing (daylight streaming through window and guy has to look out window to say its "daytime already?") its petty I know but come on....And WHEN will they remove the f'ing training wheels in regards to the stupid f'ing aiming reticule and glowy enemy markers? My god, nothing ruins the almost photorealistic gameplay and immersion like this crap! Its a gaming mechanic from the f'ing 70's for christ sake. How about developing some actual SKILL as a player instead by LEARNING the weapons characteristics!? Aiming reticule!? Blow me. Is it going to be another gen of same shit, dif pile? Looks like it so far as this gen is already pissing me off with "been there done that" ancient mechanics and no apparent innovations. "but it looks pretty" they'll say; I say so what? Stop spoon feeding us this generic shit please, but apparently game devs are too stupid, or lazy, or scared to take a chance and innovate.

I don't think you know how games work.

"still crappy writing (daylight streaming through window and guy has to look out window to say its "daytime already?")"

It alludes to the fact that it's very early in the morning, and gives you a rough timeline of past events.

Also, removing the crosshair and enemy markers doesn't automatically make a game better. Every one of your suggestions would lead to a worse game.

I dont even understand why you would hope that from an already established and know Ip with its own tropes and habits ..

What's next hoping that street fighters do away with specials moves and just pull a full on kinect control schemes because you crave novelty at the expense of everything else ?

You want completely new , then ask for new games and ips and support them .

Right now i dont have any game that will feature the scope in warfare possibly proposed by BF4 along with maybe finally a return of destruction tied to gameplay . That's new enough in itself for me

Hellsvacancy4038d ago (Edited 4038d ago )

Id be happy if I could cook a grenade in BF4

I hate the private server stuff aswel, im forever being kicked by admin for being a good player, 100% rounds on the official Dice servers are not enough

The "glowy" enemy markers seem to be a spot/command function. Wrecker uses it to tell his squad to suppress while he flanks. He also used for air support.

As long as it innovates or tries something new. Military shooters are what made the FPS genre a borefest in the first place, so hopefully next-gen isn't just better graphics.

Sea maps would be amazing, and I'm not even a fan of the Battlefield series (although I do see its appeal in MP....).

Eyesoftheraven4038d ago (Edited 4038d ago )

As long as my computer can run it looking like the 17 minute footage, I'll be happy. If I feel like getting emotional & philosophical through brilliant storytelling & impeccable pacing, there's Bioshock One & Infinite; sorry Bioshock 2.

If it does not have submarines in it, I will not buy.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot749d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250748d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface748d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop748d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno748d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel749d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps748d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33748d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888748d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH748d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
